Comments:

Beside (unfortunately) usual bad behaviour of many European stations we also
faced some technical problems like destroyed HV transformer in the power
amplifier or antenna switch malfunction. As a bonus there was a windstorm for
the whole weekend in our contest QTH in the Ore Mountains. The strong wind
repeatedly damaged our receiving antennas and it wasn’t pleasant work for
Jirka OK1AEZ and Franta OK1AAU to go out and repair beverages in this beastly
weather.

Nevertheless the 2008 CQ 160m was a great contest. There was a good opening to
North America (including the U.S. West Coast) during the Saturday early morning
and we broke a million points barrier for the first time in our club history.
Thanks to everybody who gave us a call and congrats to winners!

See you next year!
